We are Domestic Artists. We create spaces for life to flourish. This creation requires tools and our tools are stuff. Knick-knacks, nature, ceramics, fabrics, lighting, pantry supplies, office supplies, baskets, containers, hangers. Managing these things, putting them to good use, is our work. Minimalism only works if home isn’t our work—but home is our work. It is our art! And we must have good tools so we can serve our people and create beauty.

What if I’ve attained that which I’ve been working so hard for but just haven’t stopped to notice? What if my life is simple, but my mind and soul are what is still frantic? What if I’m so busy hunting, I failed to realize I’ve arrived?
